iii
Scale invariance requires the potential to obey
ϕV′(ϕ)=4V(ϕ).
(1)
Thus, apart from the zero choice,
V(ϕ)=gϕ4​
(2)
for a dimensionless constant g; an additive constant is excluded because it introduces a scale in the action. The canonical dilatation current is
Dμ=xν​Tμν+ϕ∂μϕ​.
(3)
Using □ϕ+V′(ϕ)=0,
∂μ​Dμ=4V−ϕV′=0.
(4)
Equivalently, after improving the stress tensor to make it traceless, the current is xν​Timpμν​.
